This $253,029 federal Project Grant award is provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The funding supports a collaborative research project led by George Mason University to use genomic and isotopic analysis to reconstruct long-term population histories and mobility patterns over a 3,000-year period. The research aims to advance knowledge on how individual and group behaviors have shaped human societies. Key project...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $270,229 to examine the geological context of Neanderthal and modern human fossils found at an archaeological site. The project aims to determine if the Neanderthal and modern human remains were deposited contemporaneously, which would provide direct evidence of the interactions between the two populations. To achieve this, the research team will apply...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $269,998 supports research to reconstruct the lifeways of the earliest indigenous inhabitants of North America during the Pleistocene-Holocene transition period 12,000-9,000 years ago. The principal investigator, in collaboration with the Muwekma Ohlone Indian Tribe, is studying a large ancestral burial site to investigate topics such as mobility, kinship, diet, and fertility...
This $185,194 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the role of human and animal mobility and migration in enabling the persistence of cities in fragile environments. Led by Stony Brook University under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the research team will examine skeletal remains from one ancient city in a floodplain region using strontium, neodymium, and lead isotope analysis to determine the geographic origins of human and...
This three-year, $279,546 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) will fund research into the drivers and proxies of behavioral diversity among late Pleistocene and Holocene hunter-gatherers. A team led by Yale University will conduct archaeological excavations and analyses in two regions where ancient DNA analysis has revealed hunter-gatherer populations began maintaining separate biological groupings near the end of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (CFDA 47.075 - Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) provides $365,726 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation to conduct research on the disappearance of St. Lawrence Iroquoian peoples from a river valley in the early colonial period. The project aims to develop a high-resolution radiocarbon chronology to determine the timing and directionality of this population movement,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $108,757 to the San Diego State University Foundation will support a collaborative research project investigating long-term changes in prehistoric human foraging, mobility patterns, and population dynamics in response to environmental change during the later Pleistocene. The project will analyze new archaeological data and leverage agent-based computer simulation modeling to...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859), provides $1,507,500.00 to Yale University to investigate the evolutionary history of human adaptive traits through ancient DNA analysis. The project aims to retrieve ancient human DNA from sediment samples collected at the Tsagaan Agui Cave in Mongolia, spanning the last 500,000 years. This innovative approach will allow the...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), provides $522,204 to President and Fellows of Harvard College for collaborative research reconstructing classic genetic and social kinship networks. Led by researchers at Harvard University, the project will analyze archaeological data and conduct ancient DNA and radiocarbon dating analysis on 21 elite and...
This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $193,608, was granted by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The primary objectives of this 5-year project are to: (1) characterize the evolutionary history and legacy of archaic ancestry in diverse non-African populations, (2) build a novel method to characterize the landscape of archaic ancestry in Africans, and (3) leverage the footprints of archaic ancestry to learn...
